Home Together is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing affordable, fully furnished homes just minutes from Seattle Children’s Hospital, giving families the stability they need during long-term medical care. We believe healing happens best when families can stay together — and our homes make it possible for parents, siblings, caregivers, and even pets to remain close throughout a child’s treatment.

Since our 2025 Oktoberfest, Home Together has grown from 9 to 14 homes, and implemented a sliding scale rent program to meet families where they are financially. Your support made this possible, and we are so excited to get together with you to celebrate these milestones, and raise funds for another year of significant impact.

Why Support Home Together

Your Support Means More Families Served
Since last year’s Oktoberfest, Home Together has expanded from 9 houses to 14, increasing our capacity to serve families who must relocate to Seattle for life‑saving pediatric cancer treatment.

A New Sliding‑Scale Rent Model
We’ve rolled out a sliding‑scale approach to rent, ensuring families are met exactly where they are — financially, emotionally, and medically. No family should face impossible housing costs while fighting for their child’s life.

Your Support Keeps Families Housed
Every dollar raised at Oktoberfest helps offset rent for families receiving critical care at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Your generosity keeps parents close to their children, reduces financial strain, and provides stability during the hardest moments of their lives.

Why Your Presence Matters
Oktoberfest isn’t just a celebration — it’s a lifeline. Your attendance, your bidding, your generosity directly support families navigating pediatric cancer. Together, we make sure every family has a safe, stable home during treatment.
